I need 6 credits of Social Science electives (already took Intro to Sociology), the options I am thinking of are either:
DSST
Drug and Alcohol Abuse
Fundamental of Counseling
CLEP:
Human Growth and Development
Intro to Psychology
Which of these 4 are more "doable"? Please help me pick 2.
Thanks a lot.
J.

You might want to consider CLEP Analyzing and Interpreting Literature, it is a 6 credit Social Science exam and from what I've gathered in the Exam feedback section, it is very much doable.

If I were you, I would choose the Introductory Psychology CLEP and the Human Growth & Development CLEP.
I would take the Introductory Psychology CLEP first followed by HG&D. From what I've heard on this forum, the best order for the Psychology exams are:
1) Introductory Psychology
2) Introduction to Educational Psychology
3) Human Growth & Development
If you haven't taken the Educational Psychology CLEP I would do that one, otherwise, just stick to the plan above.
Hope this info helps you.
Oh and by the way....when you do take these two exams just remember one thing.....always kick major butt!!!!!!!!!hilarious
Peace be with you always.
